You sold it well but I think I’ll give the rabbit books a miss all the same 😂 This is how you remember it has gone on my wish list though. I have Little Scratch on my shelf too and really must read it soon.

It’s about 12 degrees here and pouring rain. The best / funniest Alan Hollingsworth book I’ve read is called The Folding Star

The heat gives your skin a glow. 😉 I would like to get to Rebecca Watson but I'm not sure which one to start with.

Aha, thank you! And I think Little Scratch is a good start, but both could be good initial points!

I love Hollinghurst's work. ❤️ His writing always seems realistic and as though he depicts slices of true lives. Try 'The Folding Star' 😊

I was worried by reviews of the new Watson as they didn't reveal it's continued experimentation, so you have set my mind at rest & I will read now. As for Cusk, I won der if `i can sue for her calling her characters 'G' as per my own 'Three Dreams In the Key Of G"? 😀

Aha, I would love that lawsuit! I think Little Scratch maybe uses the scattered text effect slightly better, or at least in a more overt and complex way, but I still think the effect in I Will Crash is well done.

I read one Rachel Cusk Second Place I hated it so much , that I would never read another of her books. I don’t react well to rich, privileged people acting really badly with no consequences.

Aha, totally fair! I did not get on too well with Second Place either!

Parade was awful, so pretentious. At least Second Place had a plot.

Aha, totally fair! Yeah, I think it read more like non-fiction a lot of the time!
